The old Man was too Hasty.


 A staid old Hubbardston farmer came to the Hub yesterday to do Ia leetle tradin'," and as he meandered down Washington street, F'headed for the Fitch, burg Depot" as he said, he suddenly halt, ed, gazed e1citedly at sign in front of { clothing house and thon darted into the store exclaiming. "Well, I yum that is good!" After due deliberation he selected a S10 suit of clothes, rendering in payment just $7. ''That's the right change. sir, said he to the astonished clerk. "But don't understand; I told you that sui would be $10," argued the clerk. "Yes I know, but don't your old sign out there at the door say falI we want is 70 cents on the dollar's" and picking up his new purchase the honest old Hubbardston farmer hastily left. He trotted along, congratulating himself on his wonderful smartness, and was heard to mutter, "I guess I'm lively enough for these 'ere city folks.n But sudden change came "o'er the spirit of dreams" after he had walked a short distance. A look of utter disgust overspread his face, the bundle fell from his arms, and in a mournful tone he said, sWhy in blazes didn't I look around a little before bought them clothes" The cause of this consternation was another clothing sign that read: "Goods sold here at half price," After studoing the situa- tioa several minutes he resumed his journey depotward, saying, "I might have saved $5 just as we'll as not if hadn't been in such a pesky hurry"

A Strange Sight.
From the Pall Mall Gazette. l


 "One of the most pathetic sights in Eng land, ," writes Harrow correspondent "and at the same time one peculiarly symptomatic of the relations between her classes and her masses, is to be seen at Harrow railway sta ton on the Monday after 'Exeat Sunday Early in the morning crowds of the poor Harrow lads, locally known as 'cads,' and for whom the local patriot John Lyon founded his school, are waiting in and about the sta tion eager for job. When the train steams in, loaded with the young gentlemen John Lyons foreigners who have been enjoying holiday after their educational labors at Lords cricket ground, there is an anxious and humble cadging on the part of the poor scads of Harrow, the lawful inheritors of the parish's school, to get the privilege and pay of carrying up the hill the hand bags of the young gentlemen The poor lads, and the poor parents who sent them to the sta- tion to compete against one another for the chance of earning few halfpence, have not apparently the slightest conception that the youthful owners of the hand bags are appro- priating the schooling which was solemnly bequeathed to themselves the would-be DOT | ters of their supplanters. That is England I ali over!' said a German pedagogue, who had come with two of his colleagues to see Har- row.
 l 'tSuch spectacle, like the case of the l Bluecoat school, which he also cited, goes far l to explain how it is that the young English I clerks are unable to hold their own in their own country against the better schooled Ger. I man competitor. Had they not been de- | frauded of the schooling which pious local patriots provided for them they would have 1 been quite able to keep the commercial for. i tress, and the modern Herr Hengist and Herr | Horsa, with pens instead of swords, must have turned elsewhere to make their career.

 1 Some time ago the chief clerk of the Treas
 I ury department issued an order prohibiting
 clerks from visiting and promenading the ! corridors during business hours. Prior tc 1 this regulation the Treasury girls spent con 1 siderable time in visiting each other and ir l walking leisurely around the corridors with favorite masculine clerks. For time the
 new order effectualIy suppressed the abuse l aimed at, as all persons found visiting and l walking about idly were reported to the chief clerk. The order still produces good l results, yet many male and female clerks l with a disposition for filtration, have devised | a plan by which they may enjoy prone l made of mile without being detected by tht | minions of the chief clerk. The Treasury building is about three hundred by two hun dred feet in dimensions. It is quadrangula1 in form, with a central wing stretching from east to west, thus converting the building into double quadrangle Two elevators To- cated in distant corners of the building carry all corners from floor to floor. The length of the corridors of each story extend in a straight line to full quarter mile, and as there are four stories we have full mile of corridors, forming, with their tiled floors, frescoed walls and vaulted ceilings, a most charming promenade. To be found loitering
 on any particular floor is to insure a report and reprimand, and repetition of the offence brings admonition of suspension or dis charge Some of the girls of the Treasury are smart as we'll as pretty, and have devised plan by which they may join each other and their beaux without fear of the chief clerk and his sentinels. Meeting at an ap- pointed hour and place, these couples will
 promenade the entire length of the corridors of one floor, and then, taking separate eleva- tors so as to avoid detection, will proceed to the next floor, and leisurely continue their s'spooning" while they make the circuit of it's corridors. This is repeated until they floors, when each will repair to his or her proper division, using both elevators for this purpose, having walked a mile, killed half hours time, ''knocked out the eye of the chief clerk" and had 'lovely time" while so engaged.

more than three-fourths of the whole going to Great Britain and Ireland. A little more than three hundred million pounds of sugar and twenty one million gallons of molasses were produced in the United States for that year. So that 1t seems we exported more than half the sugar and nearly half the mo- lasses produced in this country, besides inn porting from foreign countries twenty-five hundred million pounds, or eight times as much as is produced here. The explanation of the large export of domestic sugar is that sugar refined here is chased by the bureau as domestic, whether it is of home production or not. The sugar exported has all been re-
 fined in this country; that imported, or near ly all of it, is raw, and the American reGners are so skillful that they can command a large market abroad at prices that leave them profit.

I have re- ceived your letter, which has come from be- yond the horizon, but it does not tell me where can find you. I am now at almost the last extremity, and our family has had to put up with cruel insults from strangers. If you do not return, I can stand all this no longer and shall assuredly put an end to my existence, in which case you would be in danger of being struck by lightning. If you return, no matter in what way, all will be arranged. I have even invented a plan by which your father will know nothing of your escapade.

HOOKED-NOsED SALMON.
Bears Esteem Them a Luxury anu
 Catch Them in Great Numbers.

| From the San Francisco Examiner.
 1 The Carbon river is wild, turgid stream,
 | fed by the great glaciers at the base of
 l Mount Tacoma. It tears down through re- zion indescribably grand and picturesque, and
 1 as it rushes onward toward Puget Sound oth-
 l CT streams join it until it is broad and
 I sweeping affiuent. Almost all the way along I this river fish and wild animals of many
 sorts are to be found in abundance. Henry
 Thorndyke of Carbonate is at downtown
 1 hotel.
 "Did you ever hear," said he yesterday to
 l an Examiner man, Chow the bears fish for
 l salmon on the Carbon river2 They do for a
 | fact. live on the margin of the river, and
 l I pledge you my word that in the Bottomless canon, twelve miles from my home, have
 seen as many as three bears within scope of
 a mile sitting at the rivers brink and fishing
 as industriously as any man you ever saw. Others in the same vicinity have seen many of them oftentimes. They are black bears | and live in the thick woods along the stream. "The fish they particularly like the hook-nosed salmon, large fish, not we'll liked by most persons on account of their l age. The fish get up in the Carbon river, and, being unmolested by men, stay there. 1 The noses of the old ones are long and ] hooked. The bears sit on the side of the stream, watch their chance and swipe them up as they come along. There's great many | in the river, and being largely unmolested t they are pretty tame. The bears often rake
 out hsh there that are couple of feet or
 more long. Well, so many of these hook l nosed salmon do these bears eat that people oo not like the bear meat. It is so fishy 1 The result IS that 1t is an almighty country for bears too. There are lots of them and they are as fat as butter. From one end of the Carbon river to the other bears in profu- sion are to be found.
 Myself and Tim Warrington, of Wilke- son, killed last January in a three days hunt nine bears, and we could have killed great many more if we had wanted to. The bear meat is not tinctured up with the taste and smell of fish so much in January as at other times of the year. But we didn't save all the meat. It would have been far too much trouble to get it down. Three or four hunters left for up there the fol- lowing month and they got somewhere about thirty bears before they stopped Like us, they were principally after the skins. They went far up in the snow, only a short distance from the glaciers, and had to bring down their meat and skins on to- boggans.
 ''They had no accidents, but they ran several narrow risks. It is rather danger ous hunting for bears in that region. The country is so new and wild that men are rarely seen and the bears have it all their own way, except where they collide with other wild animals, and when they do it is not often they get left. There are a few grizzlies there, with plenty of mountain lion and smaller game.'

A COMmENDABLR MOVEMENT


 The movement for the naturalization of English born residents in this country is making rapid progress in Massachusetts, where it originated on account ot the opposi- tion to the use of Faneui1 hall for the cele- bration of the Queens jubilee. The British residents found themselves at disadvantage because they were not citizens and hence had no political rights. It is expected that the naturalization movement will extend all over the State. There are in Massachusetts nine- ty-two English and Scottish societies known as the "Order of the Sons of St. George" and the ''Order of the Scottish Clans," which have membership of about 27,O00 men, not half of whom are naturalized. There are many more outside these societies who are not citizens. It is expected that 5000 new English and Scotch voters will be added to the lists in this State this fall, and within the next two years from 10000 to 25, ,O0O In other States the same movement is taking root and the Boston British are receiving communications nearly every day from all over the country asking advice and express ing commendation of the movement.
 In New Haven some steps have been taken toward making English voters, and the movement deserves encouragement here as we'll as elsewhere. The Springfield Union well says: These men are not anarchists or socialists. or uneasy busydodies in other mems affairs. They are bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. and it will surprise many readers to know that there are so many of them who for any reason have neglected to cast in their lot with us politically as well as socially and industria1ly. We believe in American citi- zenship and believe in keeping up it's stan dard by the fullest possible infusion of fresh British blood, and while we have freely we'll comed the Teuton, the Frank, the Scandina- yian and the Slav, the genius of our land is Anglo-Saxon; our laws, our customs and our institutions were brought from Great Britain, and we shall best preserve our na- tional character by making the most of the clements which have predominated from the beginning. We want no clannish divisions or nationalistic cliques among us, and the sooner the intelligent immigrant of whatever nationality assumes the rights and duties of an American citizen, leaves behind his old world animosities and becomes one of us the better for him and for us.

A Word About Catarrh.

Ut is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi-uid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of the air and food passages, that Catarrh makes it's stronghold. Once established. it eats into the very vitals, and renders life but long-drawn breath of misery and disease, duiing the sense of hearing, trammeling the power of speech, destroy ing the faculty of smell, taintng the breath. and killing the refined pleasures of taste. Insdiousy, by creeping from simple cold in the head, it as saults the membranous lining and envelops the bones, eating through the delicate coats and ing inflammation, sloughing and death. Nothing short of total eradication will secure health to the patient, and all alleviatives are simply procrasti- mated sufferings, leading. to a fatal terInination ternal administration has never failed; even when the disease has made frightful inroads on delicate constitutions, hearing splell and taste have been recovered, and the disease thoroughly driven out n
